Apple makes it easy to setup your work phones either 1-by-1 or all at once using their dedicated application.

1-by-1 setup

You can use Restrictions, also known as parental controls, to block or limit specific apps and features on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
See this Apple article for instructions on setting this feature up: https://support.apple.com/en-nz/HT201304

All phones at once

Apple offers a program called Configurator 2 which makes it easy to deploy iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV devices in your business.
